Miro Heiskanen is one of the best Defensemen in the NHL, but has only cracked the Top 10 once in his career in Norris Trophy voting. Perhaps with new right shot d men Matt Dumba and Ilya Lyubushkin, Miro can play on his strong side and meet new heights offensively that will elevate his status around the league. Either way, Heiskanen has one of the best contracts in the entire league, an article by The Athletic has Miro as the 3rd best contract in the NHL only behind Gustav Forsling of the Florida Panthers and Jack Hughes of the New Jersey Devils. Is this the year it all comes together for Miro and adds some hardware to his resume? Speaking of contracts, the Dallas Stars still have to resign Thomas Harley. Joey breaks down what the Stars are faced with and how Harley’s deal could affect what the Stars can and cannot do at the trade deadline next season. In the final segment, the Barrie Colts have acquired Stars prospect Tristan Bertucci who will team up with first round pick Emil Hemming.

The problem for Miro is that the Norris has basically become which defensemen scores the most. While Miro can certainly score and could score more, the Stars don’t need him to. They’re so strong up front they don’t need to rely on a defender for massive scoring and they have two who are capable of that.
Miro is also a Captain in the making and would rather win another piece of hardware.
A Norris candidate would be great. Zubov was always a bit out of the conversation too, behind the top guys from the 90s. Then when Lidstrom broke out Zubie was already regressing and there was not any chance. I'd rather see him with a Conn Smythe!
